DNA testing is especially useful when relatives come from countries that do not have a reliable public registry.

This means that they may be unable to satisfactorily prove their genetic relationship using such documents.

An immigration DNA test can help hasten immigration procedures. Generally, in South Africa, people carry out this test to join relatives in other countries such as the USA or the UK. The results of the DNA test can be used as proof of relationship between alleged relatives. People from South Africa wishing to go and live in other countries in which their relatives reside can do an immigration test.

Who can take part in an immigration DNA test?

Immigration testing covers a range of DNA relationship tests; it does not refer to one single test. Any relatives can do an immigration test to prove the biological relationship between them. If one sibling lives in the UK and another sibling who is a non-UK citizen, perhaps based in South Africa, wishes to join their sibling in the UK, they may present the results of an immigration DNA test to the relevant authorities. Aunt/uncle testing, grandparents testing, MtDNA testing, Y chromosome tests and X chromosome tests are all tests which can be used for immigration. The most common type of immigration DNA test is the paternity test.
